Room 6 is a good class to come into in the morning with a bright teacher that helps us prepare for the future. We learn heaps in Room 6.
Raetihi
Raetihi is a town in the central North Island. It is located at the junction of State Highways 4 and 49, 11 kilometres west of Ohakune. There is evidence of Maori people living there in the fourteenth century. Raetihi was originally called Makotuku due to the river flowing at the town's edge.The great fire of 1918 was a terrible setback to many businesses and homeowners in Raetihi. It emerged that the ‘endless’ supply of strong native timber was running out. The choice to replant forests in fast-growing pine was there, but in the middle of the 20th century the ability to treat this new soft wood for outdoor building was not available. Raetihi felt the loss of the timber industry more as each year passed. Farming was an option for some but it would never be as high an employer as the forests once provided. From the 1970’s through to the 1990’s, Raetihi fell into a state of depression. While farming and forestry continue here, it is tourism that provides the next glimm er of hope for this historic town. Speech Pens and pencils lay on my desk tempting me to fidle. While my page is still blank. I am easily distracted. For people like me who can find it hard to focus in a pupil filled classroom, home schooling can be a good choice. By being in a quiet room by yourself it can focus on your work without the noise of your classmates and their movements being a distraction . And by working in a space by yourself you can`t turn around and chat to your neighbour about what their planning on doing in the weekend and your attention will be kept on your work and so it will help you to get more work done.
